Green Chess: Print, Plant and Play!

Chess Blog for Daily Chess News and Trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2013

Hello everyone,

This is a neat theme chess set. You can go green while playing chess, and the best part is you don't have to go out to buy this chess set. A 3-D printing format is available online. All you need to do is download, print, plant and play!

Want a soap chess set?


Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2012


Hi everyone,


We found two nice theme chess sets. The first one is made from 20mm steel dummy rounds used by military to test feed machine guns used in aircraft. The handmade chess pieces are decorated and designed with special cuts, curls and bends, which help in differentiating them from other chess pieces. Chess pieces for the dark side are painted black and sandblasted for extra effect whereas pieces for light side are simply wire brushed. The chess board is equally attractive with pine wood craft and sides decorated with 1/8 inch steel band. Intersection between the board squares has been adorned using rivets.




The second is a soap chess set. Would you use one in the washroom?
